Pinnacle Mountain is a day-use park dedicated to environmental education, recreation and preservation. Park interpreters and volunteers help visitors and students understand man's relationship to the environment. Some of the most popular special programs offered at the park are the Canoe Day Floats on the Little Maumelle River.
The park's diversity of habitats, from high upland peaks to bottomlands along the Big and Little Maumelle Rivers, provide many outdoor recreational and educational opportunities including interpretive canoe and boat tours led by park naturalists. Park facilities include picnic sites, a standard pavilion, launch ramps and hiking trails. The visitor center overlooking the Arkansas River includes exhibits, A/V programs, a meeting room and gift shop.
Within the park's environs is the Arkansas Arboretum, a 71-acre site exhibiting native flora representing Arkansas's six, major natural divisions. Below Pinnacle Mountain along the Little Maumelle River, the arboretum includes a .6-mile barrier-free, interpretive trail.
